The 2024 Presidential Election Through Latino Lenses
This paper examines the Latino vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. We examine the factors that were most important for Latino voters and investigate how these shaped their candidate choice. Specifically, we argue that it is important to explore the demographic heterogeneity within the Latino category, as well as to explore the various issues that different subsets of the group prioritize. In doing so, we focus on differences by gender an…
Neighboring Groups and Political Attacks
Explicit racism in political campaigns is rising, with politicians openly disparaging immigrant, racial, and religious minorities. Group membership plays a central role in politics, and people often respond more strongly to attacks on their own group than others. What if the attack is directed toward a group that an individual does not belong to, but with which they have a logical, social, or psychological connection? We call these “neighboring” …
The Participatory Implications of Racialized Policy Feedback
How do involuntary interactions with authoritarian institutions shape political engagement? The policy feedback literature suggests that interactions with authoritarian policies undercut political participation. However, research in racial and ethnic politics offers reason to believe that these experiences may increase citizens’ engagement. Drawing on group attachment and discrimination research, we argue that mobilization is contingent on indivi…

Estimating Candidate Support in Voting Rights Act Cases
Scholars and legal practitioners of voting rights are concerned with estimating individual-level voting behavior from aggregate-level data. The most commonly used technique, King's ecological inference (EI), has been questioned for inflexibility in multiethnic settings or with multiple candidates. One method for estimating vote support for multiple candidates in the same election is called ecological inference: row by columns (R×C). While some si…

What motivated Latinos to turnout in 2020 in the middle of a global health pandemic that has devastated their community financially, physically and mentally? How might we explain Latino support for each one of the Presidential candidates in the context of these crises? In this paper, we tackle these questions through an investigation of the factors that drove Latino turnout in 2020 and what might explain Latino favorability for Joe Biden and Dona…
Relative group discrimination and vote choice among Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and Whites
Scholars of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics (REP) have demonstrated that discrimination shapes the political behavior of Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and Whites. This scholarship, however, tends to focus on a single group or employ variables that make intergroup comparisons difficult. Using data from the 2016 Collaborative Multi-Racial Post-Election Survey, we examine individuals’ perceptions of the discrimination their racial or pan-ethnic group faces…

Politicized Immigrant Identity, Spanish-Language Media, and Political Mobilization in 2012

Revisiting Latino Voting
Traditional vote-choice models include variables such as party identification, assessments of the economy, as well as other demographic characteristics. We argue that variables that tap shared racial/ethnic identity or some such similar dimension can enhance Latino vote-choice models beyond the traditional model. We evaluate Barack Obama and Mitt Romney’s cross-racial mobilization of Latino voters during the 2012 Presidential election. Using a su…
